Skill Order (Lv 1 - 15)

Ult

Max the skill that is key to your clear speed and damage first, then level the skill that adds True Damage.

Master Yi Strengths

✓Strong late-game 1v1 dueling and game-deciding carry potential
✓Slow immunity on Ult and strong chase-down power

Master Yi Weaknesses

×Fragile; gets taken down instantly when caught by hard CC
×Weak early ganks; hard to influence the map before scaling

Master Yi Early Game

Early on, avoid forced ganks and prioritize farming to scale quickly. Take river vision to watch for the enemy jungler's ganks and cover your laners.

Master Yi Mid Game

Mid game, once your core items are done, is when Master Yi gets strong. Finish off isolated targets and pick up kills in skirmishes to speed up the snowball.

Master Yi Late Game

Late game, push side lanes as a split-pusher and pull the enemy's attention. If someone comes to defend alone, beat them 1v1 and widen the lead.

Master Yi Teamfights

Do not be the one to dive first in teamfights. Confirm the enemy's dangerous CC is down, then go in late, start on a low-HP target, and chain kill resets to collapse their team.

⚠️ Common Mistakes

Engaging first in teamfights

Do not dive first in a teamfight hoping for kills. Master Yi has low durability and dies without doing anything when focused. Wait for your tank to draw out the enemy's key CC. Then use Ult from Level 5 and Skill 1's untargetability to clean up the exposed backline.

Master Yi Combos

Basic Combat

Close the gap with Skill 1, then use Skill 2 between autos as a reset.

Our take

The pairing of Master Yi and Guinsoo's Rageblade had left opponents with almost nothing to answer it. Alpha Strike costs 1 more second of cooldown at every rank and 10 less damage to champions, trimming both how often he can commit and how much each commit is worth. Bonus damage to monsters and minions goes up by 10 in exchange, so his clear speed is untouched. His scaling stays intact while the early game leaves more room to hunt him down.
